gwaltho Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Would love to have the scrub feature on the zoom tool with a click drag right, left for in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MattP Posted August 7, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 7, 2015 ...the next beta works properly - both in the Zoom Tool or in any other tool while holding Space and Command :) ronnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gear maker Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Matt, thank you for that tip. I always use the opt + wheel to zoom. I like this one even better! Now to retrain my muscle memory.

Hokusai Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Just a question, is there anyway to turn off the scrubby zoom so that it behaves like the previous zoom tool? claidheamdanns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted August 10, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 10, 2015 If you hold down Alt/Option in the Zoom Tool then it should allow you to zoom to a marquee rectangle, just like it used to :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 MattP, Thanks for the response. If I'm using another tool, like for example the Pen tool is there a way to get the old behavior with the zoom too (without switching to the actual zoom tool)? Thanks, Hokusai anon1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I would like to request a preference box for the new zooming behavior (I looked for one but I couldn't find it anywhere). I've tried the new behavior and while I can appreciate how some people would like it, it isn't for me. In fact I dislike it so much so that I have stopped using the latest beta and I'v gone back to using the old Mac Store app. It is nice that I can use the old zooming behavior if I'm using the zoom tool but I rarely (if ever) use the zoom tool and instead access it while using another tool. I know that tastes vary and maybe I'm in the minority but it would be great if there was a preference that would let me decide if which zooming behavior works best for me.

Staff MattP Posted August 12, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 12, 2015 Certainly not a bad idea at all - we can look to add this in future betas, I'm sure :) Sorry that this new behaviour is a regression for you :( A_B_C and anon1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 MattP, Thanks for understanding, and sorry the new zoom behavior isn't for me. I can appreciate the effort it took to program it and add it to Designer. I can imagine developing a program like Designer is incredibly tough. You want to add new features or change things but at the same time some people prefer the old ones or the old way. Luckily in this case, a preference will make everyone happy. Thanks for considering my request, Hokusai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleay Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Can I second Hokusai's request for a preference to enable the old drag-a-rectangle zoom method? I much prefer the old way. Even a modifier would do. anon1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I also like the old way more and would like the preference option @cleay: the "alt" (or option) key is the modifier :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleay Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 @QMBd - I've tried option-command-space but it just changes the scrubby zoom icon to '-'. The scrub function is the same regardless of the option key; drag down to zoom in and up to zoom out (why not just change the icon to '-' as soon as you drag up?). Can't find a way to get the old select-rectangle method of zooming with the option key though?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Oh Sorry The modifier only works in the zoom tool (press z and then hold down alt) I think this is something to be fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnyb Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 It would be beneficial if the scrubby zoom responded to vertical mouse tracking as well as horizontal, so tracking up would zoom in (or out... pref setting) and tracking down would zoom in the opposite direction. 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Ventura 13.6 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MattP Posted August 21, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi ronny, We did briefly have this behaviour in the beta (for a few days) and it actually didn't work very nicely in practice... We had it so that Up and Right zoomed in, and Down and Left zoomed out... Imagine moving your mouse to the right to zoom in then stray up a bit (fine it stays zoomed in) then stray down a bit - and it suddenly zooms out past the starting zoom and to the zoom out level you now indicated - it was just a bit funny...

ronnyb Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hey Matt, I must've missed that beta. Funny I'm used to scrubbing up and down; left and right for zooming never felt correct in my brain, lol... How about a checkbox on the Zoom tool's Context Toolbar or an App-wide pref for one axis (left-right OR up-down) or two axis (left-right AND up-down) zoom...

cleay Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Any progress on a preference for the old drag-a-rectangle zoom method? I've tried, but after 20 odd years of the old way the new scrub method just doesn't work for me (the new way is also much, much harder to zoom a long way into a point quickly: drag a small rectangle vs. click drag, click drag, click drag, click drag etc...). anon1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltommeister Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Totally agree. Rectangular marquee — the fastest way zooming into point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 A bit late … but I’d like to add my voice to the plea for a setting in the preferences, that would bring us the old rectangle zoom method back … :) Hokusai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
